    Freezing sewer vent pipes

    $60 frigging dollars for that is highway robbery! A "T" and a couple feet of soldered in pipe is going to set a person back, about $10?

    Fish Preferences??

    I too would prefer to fish somewhere that a guy at least has a chance of catching a variety. Places like Sibley, where I can go and catch 30 fifteen inch eyes is fine when I'm in the mood to fill the freezer, but my desire would be to fish somewhere where I can catch five fish spread out...

    Which one of you.....

    Ditto here, I spent 4 yrs split between workover and drilling rigs. Tough way to make a living that is best for those unattached fellas in their 20s. I tire of BS easy.

    No such luck. It is going to be shi-tay.

    Which one of you.....

    It was early January in 1988 where I was chaining out of the hole wet on a drilling rig that changed my life. Nothing like spending 8 hours soaked in hot, then cold, diesel fuel based mud on a -40 degree day to encourage a career change. I went into the Marines a couple months later. After...

    Tree Order Time

    Hah hah, it's pretty shallow right now. This winter will likely see it freeze to the bottom. If you run out of places to put things, let me know. I can always find room for another fruit tree.

    Tree Order Time

    About 30 cherry (meteor, Montmorency, and North Star), and about the same number in a mixture of apples (Honeycrisp, Statefair, etc). Gets a little spendy to buy them at $30-50 each from box office stores.

    Tree Order Time

    Am I the only one disappointed in the fruit tree offerings through Linocoln-Oakes? It'd be great if they put a little effort into satisfying large plantings of quality fruit.

    Well good for him, adoption has never really been in the cards for me but I can fully understand the want to help shepherd a growing human through life.

    Property Tax Increase

    I'd probably drink a lot if I had to do this daily.

    Property Tax Increase

    I'll tell you this. If you're trying to get a deed recorded in Burleigh County, your attorney best dot the T's and cross the I's. Because they look at them here and if it's not keeping with their wishes on the verbiage, they will tell you to do it again. I had that problem a few years ago. I...

    Better or Worse?

    While I'd prefer to not discuss my personal finances in much detail on a public forum, let's just say that there is a reason the bill is nearly 500 pages long.

    Interesting read

    This guy "learned" while he was in college. Back in the 90s while I was at UND we would get the occasional "climate change" modeling expert. I was the jerk in the audience back then who would always ask how they handled the solar output. It never failed, they always would say that it was a...

    Bakken formation in1988 and fracking.

    The first frac job I helped with while working on a workover rig was back in 1985. Basic frac'ing has been around about 30 years longer than that. The difference between then and now is that these are horizontal wells. The Bakken itself has long been known to be hydrocarbon rich, but it's too...

    Better or Worse?

    Marbleyes has been paying attention to the world around him. My take on congress and our federal government representation in general is that...they ALL suck donkey dick. I got screwed by ACA as I was one of the people they thought needed to help pay for everyone else's health insurance. And...

    Another tire thread, for SUV this time.

    After perusing tirerack.com last night, it doesn't look like Cooper wants to make tires in the Toyota size of 265/70-17. I run the Hankook ATM's on my 3/4 ton. Pretty happy with them overall, but I don't think I want them on my SUV as they're a little too aggressive and not that great on ice...

    Property Tax Increase

    Marbleyes, I am going to hazard a guess and say that those mineral royalties held in trust because the heirs/owners can't be found are the prime ones to get usurped by the current surface owner.

    anybody here a saltwater disposal well lessor?

    I know I wouldn't necessarily want a salt water disposal well anywhere near where I lived, hunted, or anything else. Lots of traffic, increased potential for a SW spill, etc. The amount they pay to the surface owner is not something I am familiar with though, so maybe it's attractive? One...
